@GBPolitcs It's insane to me that any white person with self respect could continue voting for political parties who aim to systematically disadvantage them All of this messaging is centered around anti-white sentiment, not racial "equality"

🚨NEW: Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has said racial equality "doesn't mean treating everyone the same"

@AI_EmeraldApple Yes thats exactly the leap I'm making Lolis look like children so people who are attracted to lolis would on average be more likely to be attracted to real children than someone who's not Obviously, as shown in my chart, it's not a 1:1 correlation, just a trend

What does this have to do with lolis? Gonna make the leap that loli = depiction of children = real children? So that means people who like violent video games are violent in real life? Or people who watch horror films or listen to metal become criminals? This is the same line of reasoning that the Christian conservatives in the 1980-90's used for the satanic panic over music and hobbies.

Another Asmongold L, as he doubles down on the anti-logic again. As many have said, the data on this is actually clear from multiple studies where there is no difference. Normal people distinguish the difference between fiction and reality. The authorities and the researchers TRIED to find that difference because they wanted a justification to criminalize loli content, and yet they could not. For some reason, on this topic, he refuses to look at the data and just goes with his own "internal morality" based on the same "moral panic" he is critical of.

@AI_EmeraldApple It wouldn't matter if they were gay, it only matters if they are straight. Why is that? Because people's attractions for fictional content on average follow their attractions in real life On average, straight men will watch hentai about girls because theyre attracted to girls

@Asmongold because the sex of the fictional character matters for measuring attraction patterns. What are you getting at here? We're really getting into the weeds

@AI_EmeraldApple Why the opposite sex? Why not the same sex? Why would it matter what sex the characters in the hentai were?

@Asmongold They were testing attraction-affinity to the opposite sex fictional characters

@AI_EmeraldApple Why didn't they give them hentai depicting fictional male characters?

@Asmongold They got hentai depicting fictional female characters.

@AI_EmeraldApple Do you think they showed the straight male applicants hentai featuring gay sex between 2 men?

@Asmongold Dude, you are literally talking about loli. That paper specifically makes the assertion that hentai is a distinct fantasy preference separate from the real world. And in the otaku community, it has a lot of overlap with loli enjoyers

@nbaDevii @AI_EmeraldApple Logical deductive reasoning is a separate process than citing research to prove a point The logic proves my point as well, just through a different order of operations

@Asmongold @AI_EmeraldApple “You can argue through logic but” do you hear yourself?

@AI_EmeraldApple Another study that is not relevant to this conversation at all 3/3 examples you have given are completely unrelated to the topic I was discussing and none of them have any relevance in proving your point You can argue through logic, but research is not on your side

@Asmongold If real CSAM-like images don't move the needle, how would drawings do it? Mahmut study is simple. People who consume hentai content are more attracted to the hentai rather than the real thing. People separate fiction from reality.

@AI_EmeraldApple So then what does that have to do with my point? That study isn't even related to the topic I was referring to Do you want to move to the third study? The Mahmut one, at least that one is actually about hentai

@Asmongold real images of non-minor women presented with CSAM-like styling. A legal analogue to CSAM that is used in scientific studies.

@AI_EmeraldApple What were the images they were shown then?

@Asmongold Real CSAM is illegal, what do you think?

@AI_EmeraldApple Were the images shown to the subjects in that study real girls or anime lolis?

@Asmongold Analysis of scientific literature as part of a report is a common practice. For the 2008 paper, they found no translation towards greater "acceptance" of real CSAM.

@AI_EmeraldApple The sample size was 0 because it wasn't a study or research They literally just asked "experts" and concluded there was no connection because no direct research on the topic was done We can do the 2008 study next, why do you think that study is relevant to this conversation?

@Asmongold The Danish review one is a review of the existing scientific literature and found zero proven causal link. Both Diamond et al. use national aggregate crime stats. Mahmut (2022) - 208 samples Paul & Linz (2008) - 154 samples

@AI_EmeraldApple Let's start with the first example, the Danish report What was the sample size of their research?

2012 Danish report (Sexologisk Klinik). no documented connection between animated content and actual crimes. "We have had to acknowledge that there is no evidence that the use of fictive images of sexual assaults on children alone can lead people to conduct sexual assaults on children." Diamond et al. (2011): "Pornography and Sex Crimes in the Czech Republic" -- child sex abuse and rape rates decreased during the period of legal fictional porn availability. Paul & Linz (2008): "The Effects of Exposure to Virtual Child Pornography on Viewer Cognitions and Attitudes Toward Deviant Sexual Behavior" - exposure to virtual child pornography did not increase tolerance of child sexual abuse. Japan is also the epicenter of lolicon content. Decriminalization of pornography in Japan led to decreases in overall sex crimes, including child SA. Diamond & Uchiyama (1999): “Pornography, Rape, and Sex Crimes in Japan” Show the declining rate despite the rise of explicit fictional content between 1970-1990's. M.K. Mahmut et al 2022"The differentiation between consumers of hentai pornography and human pornography" "Hentai consumers indicated stronger romantic desire towards anime characters compared to non-hentai and non-porn consumers" also they did not link consumption to real world deviant behavior. Other sociology studies go the other way, but a lot of those are framed from a moral panic standpoint, lacking data. Others use police and law enforcement data, where there is a rising number of CSA offenders who also have lolicon content. But those are studies within just the offending community, that's, again, not generalizable to the wider community. Some law enforcement and governmental organizations use that as justification to criminalize the content. But the criminalization of lolicon content has not led to any decrease in actual CSA rates. For example, Canada and the UK criminalize the worst kinds of art, and yet only an increase in real child sexual exploitation has been reported since 2014. TLDR: People can find lolicon weird or even immoral, etc., but the connection of it to real-world crimes is at best weak.

@synopsis8100 @AI_EmeraldApple Is this a joke? This quote isn't even from the Paul J Wright study and the study it is from was using adult women posing as barely legal, not anime characters

@Asmongold @AI_EmeraldApple There are many examples, but one of em would be a study by Paul J Wright in the Journal of Sex Research (2013)

@mahirusoldier Ngl I think this character looks too young and I don't think her voice actress matches her appearance either Eve in the first game was perfect, this one I'm not as big of a fan of Maybe I'm becoming an old man but that's just my 2c, still looking forward to the game though

Woke niggas be like: "We love women as long as they're androgynous, have broad shoulders and a man jaw. The moment they look feminine, we HATE women."

@geoffkeighley 9/10 Great show W

Thanks for watching #SummerGameFest 2026! How did you like the show?

@McJuggerNuggets I originally defended you but after looking at your channel, it is the most demonic amalgamation of sympathy slop and tragedy porn that I've ever seen I can't imagine how much of freak you would have to be to make content like that, genuinely sick and depraved

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision. The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS. Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity. If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in. What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical. So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do. There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post. On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life. What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…? There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…? The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation. That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear. So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed. There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth. To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future. (CONTINUED)

@kabrutusdeid Chuds are the indigenous people of the gaming community, woke colonization must be pushed back against or we will continue to lose our identity Replacing Kratos with a WOMAN is like building a datacenter on a sacred burial ground

> create a franchise centered around a male protagonist > watch the franchise become a huge success, with the protagonist becoming its most iconic character and building a massive fanbase around the world > decide to ride the success of that established franchise by creating a new female character to replace the male lead and push a feminist agenda > completely alienate the original fanbase, tell them the game isn't for them, and then blame them when the new game fails when will they ever learn?
